What steps will reproduce the problem?

 Not really a bug, but a proposed enhancement: when busybox-android is installed,
 two files are created in the root directory of the sdcard:

 shell@mako:/ $ ls -l /mnt/sdcard/*eric*                                        
 -rw-rw---- root     sdcard_r   849476 2013-12-21 15:36 stericson-ls
 -rw-rw---- root     sdcard_r    77352 2013-12-03 23:23 toolbox-stericson

 Can busybox-android be configured to store these files somewhere else, 
 e.g. /mnt/sdcard/Android ?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

 Application should not leave clutter (sorry :)) in the SDcard's root.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

 shell@mako:/ $ busybox --help | head -1                                        
 BusyBox v1.21.1-Stericson (2013-09-26 14:33:26 BST) multi-call binary.

 ...running on a Nexus 4, Android 4.4

Please provide any additional information below.

As enhancement, it would be great to add sendmail command to current busybox 
command list.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Busybox and replace existing copy in /system/xbin
2. Run busybox fbset from command prompt

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should be able to set the video resolution and color depth, but instead this 
version spits out an error:
shell@android:/system/xbin $ fbset
fbset: applet not found

This causes a problem when certain Android devices boot up and try to set their 
screen resolution and mouse cursor.  In particular the Pivos XIOS DS box has 
this problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v8.6 (BusyBox v1.20.2-Stericson) on Android 4.0.3

Please provide any additional information below.

        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
su
mkfifo /cache/myfifo
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/cache/myfifo bs=1M count=1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It actually seems to output 1 byte and doesn't wait for the fifo to be read. 
Removing the last part "count=1" then works as should, but of course can't stop 
it at a desired size.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Busybox Pro 1.20.1
Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250 with Jelly Bean

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Have busybox free version 1.20.2
2.Got notification of new installer, I have 4.1
3.Paid for the pro version, installed it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
installed busybox and said it failed. I currently have 1.20.2 in /system/xbin. 
Said it was null

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Busybox 1.20.2 installer 4.1 both free. Then bought installer pro version. then 
the problem started. I have an Htc Evo 4g ( PC36100 ) hardware version 0004, 
Android version 2.3.5. Rooted stock Rom with the latest OTA (Captain Throwbacks 
) Amon-ra 4.3 recovery.

Please provide any additional information below.

The busybox 1.20.2 was with smart install, never had an issue. Now I don't 
update to the paid version of the installer, even tho it prompts me to. When I 
go into busybox, smart install ok. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Please 
help. [email protected].

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Root your Micromax A60 device
2. Install busybox-installer (free version)
3. Only busybox 1.19.3 can be installed.

Attempt to install busybox 1.19.4 and higher yields following error message:
Error: reloc_library[1244]: 3421 cannot locate `fdatasync'... CANNOT LINK 
EXECUTABLE

Included busybox v1.19.3 does not work properly on Android 4.0.2 (Galaxy 
Nexus), giving "Value too large for defined data type" on certain file 
operations (e.g. ls and chown) in certain directories (e.g. /data/data)

c:\temp\android-apps-reinstall>adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
su
shell@android:/ # busybox | head -n 1

1|shell@android:/ #

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Update the app
2. Open the app
3. Try to press a button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see nothing but the buttons on the screen, and pressing them does nothing. I 
have to press the phone's Back button to exit the app. I cannot update the 
binary.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest from the Play Store on 2.3.4 on my T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide (HTC 
Doubleshot)

Please provide any additional information below.
This has been occurring for several versions from the Play Store now.

Despite issue #6 states sendmail has been added to busybox for Android in 2012, 
the command is missing from busybox v1.21-Stericson (2013.07) and 
v1.22-Stericson (2014.1).

When will it be added again?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install update through play store
2. Click on notification of new binary avaliable 
3. Click install

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What I expect is that no notification comes up after every update, but only at 
updates that really have a new busy box binary.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using the newest version at all times, on Android 2.3.6 rooted

Please provide any additional information below.
Hope this will get fixed in another update, and keep the good work up, good and 
simple way to install busybox

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Search on f-droid store.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
app isn't there
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest version

Please provide any additional information below.

It would be nice if you could add your app to f-droid,so that it can be 
installed without having to flash gapps. thanks. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just install busybox
2. it reboots during install, normal or smart
3. when main screen shows up it reboots again and again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- a message like 'successfully installed' and device continue operating 
normally but with advantages provided by busybox

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- samsung galaxy s gt-i9003l gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom rooted
- samsung galaxy y gt-i5360l gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom rooted
- samsung galaxy tab 2 gt-i5110 cyanogenmod 7
- samsung galaxy tab 2 gt-i3110 cyanogenmod 7
- bluestacks rooted
- any android rooted device i tried (galaxy ace, lg, etc)

Please provide any additional information below.
- it seems it replaces some essential command with bugged version
- factory reset doesnt help since it only wipes data partition and busybox are 
installed in readonly /system partition
- cannot use the device because is constantly rebooting and discharging
- the only fix is to reflash, root and start over again.. is really an annoyance

Is there any particular reason for ar not being enabled? It would be very 
useful, for example, for unpacking deb packages (i.e., debootstrap).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. using https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox installed 
busybox version 1.19.3

3. Market works like it should in every aspect
4. using https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox 
installed/updated busybox new in latest version that is version 1.19.4
5. Market FC when in My applications menu (same result as with no symlink) - no 
way to install, update apps

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Properly working symlink as with version 1.19.3

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Hi! I don't know if this must go here, but I've made a translation to spanish 
for this great app. Here you have.

Regards!

Busybox app does not install base64 applets in Smart Install by default even 
though it's not available on the phone prior to installation.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installing any version of busybox.
2. Mouse cursor gets replaced by boot-loader image.
3. Further investigation shows that this is a fault in fbset binary.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Mouse cursor gets replaced by boot-loader image.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I even tried this version of busybox posted by Stericson:

Please provide any additional information below.
when I run fbset in terminal I get :
fbset: can't open '/dev/fb0': No such file or directory
I think fbset is looking in the wrong path as fb0 in android is in 
'/dev/graphics/fb0' not '/dev/fb0'

Hi, I'm working on building this app for F-Droid repository 
(http://f-droid.org). We can build Busybox with the NDK for at least ARM , but 
there is no source code for reboot.png, ls.png and toolbox.png. Do you know how 
to allow these to be built with NDK , (cross compiler or chroot if not), or 
could you provide a patch or branch that would allow the apps to function 
without these programs? The same issue applies to Permissions Denied.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install busybox normally.
2. adb shell
3. readlink

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
readlink applet should work
readlink: applet not found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
9.6 busybox 1.21.1 with Jellybean 4.3 on a Nexus 4.

Please provide any additional information below.
I need readlink to use adbfs.
